Description

This work is a clear, easy-to-understand guide to the issues and decision points encountered when planning to resolve, or avoid, a transnational dispute. Each basic concept and all facets of litigation procedure and strategy are explored in the context of multi-jurisdictional interaction; that is, exposing the characteristics of one legal system which may, or may not, be available in the other. The analysis elucidates the choices available at the different stages of a transnational litigation. These choices appear in each and every phase of litigation, as well as during the planning process when dispute avoidance is the primary objective. The first half of this book is a practitioner's guide with ample descriptions of how to conduct litigation abroad. The second half is sub-divided into six appendices, and includes a table of cases and a topic index.

Reviews and Awards

"Transnational Litigation: A Basic Primer is solid gold and a welcome addition to comparable titles....What sets this 623-page book apart from the rest is its structure. The first half (pages 1-296) is a practitioner's book with ample descriptions of how to conduct litigation abroad. The second half sub-divided into six appendixes, a table of cases, and a topic index, proves extremely valuable....American practitioners who need to get up to speed quickly will want this book, but its usefulness is not limited only to Americans. Lawyers of other nationalities will find it helpful, too....Transnational Litigation will be useful for any library supporting the needs of an international practice." Kevin Miles, Librarian, Vial, Hamilton, Koch & Knox, Legal Information Alert

"This primer is intended as a practitioner's guide to satisfy the daily need of the litigator, business person, and student as an accessible overview of recurring practical issues in dispute resolution. The concept of choice is the focus of the primer, as the analysis is meant to highlight and elucidate the choices available at various stages of transnational litigation." International Law and Trade Perspective

"A practice-oriented guide to and overview of cross-border litigation suitable for the seasoned litigator, the transactional attorney, the in-house lawyer, and the businessperson, as well as the student....The volume should be equally accessible, from a legal standpoint, to any international user who reads English. Emphasis is placed on the choices available at various stages of a transnational litigation, providing insight into dispute avoidance as well as resolution." Reference & Research Book News

"This work is a welcome contribution to the practical literature about litigating international disputes in national courts.
